“If you complain to someone, you assume that it's someone who really cares about you.”

“You never really hate anyone as much as someone you cared about once.”

“I guess, really thinking about it, I always assumed when you missed someone, it was tangible… something real you could grab and hold on to, but it's a not-there feeling.”

“You have to understand, child. Everyone wants someone in their life, someone who cares for them, someone they can care for. Even a queen.”

“You gotta know someone cares about you, or you just give up.”

“Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.”

“Writing is thinking on paper, or talking to someone on paper. If you can think clearly, or if you can talk to someone about the things you know and care about, you can write - with confidence and enjoyment.”

“I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it's unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.”

“If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else's expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves.”

“What a terrible thing it is to wound someone you really care for and to do it so unconsciously.”
